This week I attached the LED strips to the printed out board and altered the indexing of the LEDs to parallel how I taped the LEDs onto our wooden strips. Since I needed to use one or two extra LEDs at the ends of each strip in order for the connectors to be able to attach without touching the wood strips, I had to factor in this into the code. I then used this to check that I was lighting up the correct lights under the zones for things like the starting and ending sequence.
My progress is on schedule. Next week I hope to connect the rest of the board once the other half of the board and more wooden strips are printed. I also hope to test the move highlighting since at that point I would be able to see the LEDs light up under the entire board.
